I had bought a big blow ducky and tried that, didn't work, and then yesterday i had taken it outside and tried it but he wouldn't get in, he kept taking the face cloth and dumping water on his head and put his face in the water to blow bubbles, so it was once again like a sponge bath. he for surely loves water but will not get in. I am going to buy a pool for outside, a bigger one, and go from there now.
Thank you for all the advice.
